Too many reviews of expensive bikes, in motorcycle journalism and on the internet, and not enough like this, that might get more people into motorcycling - the lifeblood of its survival.
Yer the 1000cc bikes get the views that's why people stick to the larger stuff but it's of no help to new riders at all. These won't get as many views but are far more useful to people. Glad you appreciate that 🙂
Correct. The average age of a U.K. biker is now 47, and they are generally better off than younger/newer riders, hence the relatively healthy sales of more expensive bikes. New blood, interest and money is what's needed for motorcycling to thrive.
Passed my CBT today at age of 60 on one of these which the test centre had. Never seen one until today and guessed it would cost about 3,500 and was amazed to find out it was 1600! I honestly wish I hadn't ordered my Honda CB125f at nearly 3k now. It performed flawlessly today.
@@mrginga4044 I was lucky that a dealership within 20 miles was selling the bike I was after at a great price - £1600 with 42 km on the clock. As with cars, they fall in price significantly once taken off the forecourt so there are bargains to be had.
I'm a total biking noob and new subscriber to your channel. I've got my CBT booked in just over a week's time. There's a Michigan in the local bike dealer's I have my eye on. It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.
Just brought a year old one of these for my partner. 900 Miles on the clock. Paid £1150 for it. Been riding years myself, sports bikes to roadsters. Well I was really impressed, build quality and smoothness for a Chinese 125 cc. She hasn't done her cbt yet, so I took her out on it. You couldn't even notice the difference being 2 up, still pulled really well, took the twisty back roads nicely too. Only thing she said was being on the back didn't feel as safe as my triumph. Popping to town I'll definitely be pinching this 👍 Great vid, helped me choose one of these for her to learn on
I do very much like the 125 Chinese bike market that exists in the UK - Lexmoto and Sinnis are great examples as to how bike companies should be: Their official pages promote riders of their bikes and celebrate the custom/modding scene of their bikes; they have an official supplier of parts so if something goes wrong or you fuck yourself in a crash, 3 minutes of ordering stuff online and a few hours in the garage can have your bike looking as good as new; and they always learn from their customers and what their target audience wants
Exactly! I'd love to own a bike for which a new set of plastics are not well over €800 for a full set, but in the netherlands such a thing doesn't exist. :(
yes, the Euro 5 specs for 2022/23 are shockingly expensive, but needs must. I bought the Hoodlum with all the warranty bells and whistles (1y labour and 7y parts on the '23 Euro 5 Hoodlum!!), plus the year of free recovery/RTB for £2899OTR. I still think it's a bit of a bargain!
@@steveaga4683 2 days ago and my local bike shop, another shop went out of business and were transferring the bike over, i bought it then, never even registered before.
Average cost for me to refill my 125 cruiser is £15 i can get anywhere between 150/170 ish miles till i need to refill again and thats mainly city riding. Cruisers are meant more for comfort of riding than speed. There for they are generally better for those who have joint or back issues. As for the mirrors ive just re adjusted mine abit so they arnt as wide and they still work well.
@@NOISY_ShortShot It's a lovely machine. I've had no issues with it and alot of people at my work place have "noticed" it,especially due to the colour.
@@dxncerr1233 This bike is certainly a very good starter for any teenager looking to buy their first ride. I've had a lot of comments from people at my workplace at how good looking the machine is. I also think that its design is perfect for anyone.
update for the 2023 E5 Hoodlum, don't know if it's the same for older models: the wheels are spoked on the Hoodlum as opposed MAG on the Michigan. I got the Hoodlum because after nearly 50 years riding bikes and 43 of those on the road, MAGs run better offroad than spokes, also spokes run better on tarmac. My intended use is strictly on-road.
Pick mine up this Saturday! You say it's not the fastest bike in the world but 70mph like you said. For 125 is plenty! Also I ordered a stainless steel exhaust! So another couple HP😀👍
@@trevoroliver8461 What gets me is that I usually hear glowing reviews from owners or former owners I speak to. They all cite 60+mph top end. Could be rose-tinted glasses... Or maybe MY bike is just a mess.
If you ever decide to review the Royal Enfield Himalayan or BMW310GS, I'd be interested in your reviews of those. I'll be looking for an affordable adventure/touring bike in the next year as a step-up from my 150cc SYM.
A negative mark is the lazy speedo. Even Euro makes do it. Metric on the outside, British on the inside. I tried this format on an insurance bike. The dual readouts are hard to use if you want the inside one. So you HAVE to use the outside one. One of the reasons I went towards a Honda - give me what I expect. I have combo brakes and doing a U turn when the front starts to brake means the front can wash out slowly on gravel. I may split the brakes up.
I have been watching and enjoying your channel for a while now. If you don't mind me asking but if you get the chance would you consider doing a review on the sinnis gv aquila 125cc
Doing my CBT soon and absolutely love the lexmoto Michigan but unsure weather to just get the cheaper lexmoto zsb for commuting and get me on the road. Has anyone rode both of them and have any idea if there is any difference in quality between them and such?
Daft question time. What are the techniques for using dual brakes? I primarily use the front brake on my Michigan to do the main slow down then tap on the dual brake pedal at the end. Is this correct? Should I be using the dual brake as primary?
I would like to ask if you still have this bike how many miles have you now done, have you any major faults to report and servicer intervals,i am looking round to replace my Suzuki van van,125 cc which i had to sell recently,and was keen to find out what these are like after say 10000 miles or so.
@@spicy110 Ok cheers for that,i will just ask another question,oh and thanks for such a quick reply,I am 72 years of age and yes i have to retake the cbt , but basically, i am asking if you would suggest a 125 ccc that is known for being excellent after it has done a good few miles cheers again Pete from Newark,I realize the chines bikes have improved a lot so i am told ,but do not want to buy a cheap bike just because they are cheap
If you reliability is no.1 for you, go with one of the big four. These bikes are cheap yes so you can't expect a 4k Honda for 2k. Now saying that you might still get an issue with a Honda and you might not for the lexmoto. It's kinda the 2 sides you have to balance.
@@spicy110 Thanks again i was just wondering if you,or other review guys have ever done a sort of follow up check on bikes that have actually got some real milage on them, that would be handy for me and probably a lot of us older guys, anyway thanks so much again for your very speedy replies.bfn Pete from Newark.
@@peterryan7827 I've had mine for a few years now, and if they are looked after these bikes should be fine. All bikes are going to need annual servicing and running repairs/inspections to be reliable. If you do the work yourself, then parts are nice and cheap. Great if something breaks, but might mean things don't last as long as you might like. Some mechanics don't work on Chinese bikes, so probably worth chatting to your local one to see what they recommend. My normal garage wouldn't even put a rear tire on it recently. As spicy says, a big 4 bike might be a safer bet, but there is a bit more range of styles from the chinese importers if you want something more interesting. Then again the centre stand broke off my Honda PCX and I had to have the engine casing replaced under warranty (excellent place to bolt a stand). So if you want trouble free transport, motorbiking might not be best. But it is the most fun - short of flying.
Honest opinion if you had a choice out of this, a Sinnis Hoodlum or a Keeways K-Lite which would you get. Is one quicker than the other or better. Thanks 👍
Great videos - just thinking of getting a bike so it's very informative. I have watched a few of your videos now and wondering if we ever get to see your face buddy? :-)
Hi Spicy110, I'm just about to get my very first bike at the ripe old age of 60 I used to ride bikes in my misspent youth when as a learner driver then you could climb on any size bike you wanted and my first bike then was a Honda CB 400. But I do like the cruiser style as your ride is lower down than normal bikes and when I eventually pass my full test then I intend to treat myself to the Virago 1100 I have always liked the Yamaha Virago as a nice looking cruiser So like you say for starting out and getting experience then the Lexmoto is such a good price, just one question about buying a new bike should I insure it fully comp or Third-party and can you suggest good fair insurers for newbies. Thanks Gordy.
Hi just bought a 2016 model second hand currently got it sat in my garden till after winter as I'm just checking it there appears to be no bite in the clutch and really gotta slam to change gear does this sound like low brake fluid or clutch problem please help
@@spicy110 yeah I did catch the comment dude, was curious to see the differences equally in the aesthetics vs the mechanics, you mentioned the exhaust kinda ruining the bikes sound and I'd be curious to see how the handle bar position modifies the feel of the ride, love the vids none the less man, been greatly helpful on gear too
Me too 34 first bike got a question and will probably sound stupid on the side of the bike there is a switch (fuel switch) is that to turn fuel on and off as when I have it off bike cuts out as not sure if this bike has a single tank or fuel reserve, bought it second hand private seller
A fuel switch is used to turn the fuel off when the bike is standing. Most EFI bikes don't have them however as simply they are not needed, the reason for them being on bikes in the first place relates to bikes with carburettors. I don't remember the Michigan I had for review having a fuel tap however.
Yellow Spicy-San! This bike pretty much reminds me of Keeway K-Light. Have ever had the chance of trying the referred Keeway and do a comparison? I also loved your videos about the UM Renegade Comando. Love its looks but I guess its manouverability might be not so good was this Lexmoto Michigan 125, right? Thank you for your attention! Love your videos! «Keep on keeping on!» (Norman Reedus, in Death Stranding ^_^)
Is this a newer model of the Michigan? I bought my first bike in October last year, and it is a Lexmoto Michigan, but mine looks significantly different to the one in your video, I also only got an 18 month warranty and no breakdown cover :/.
I wonder if Chinese imported motorcycles will be treated by Europe the same way as e-bikes (as of July 2018) that is by applying swinging tariffs (currently up to 86%) as part of an anti-dumping measure? Today, importers have to factor in UK duty, freight costs and HMRC VAT and now anti-dumping duty costs typically moving a factory price of say £2000 to nearly £5000 to protect European manufacturers!
That's why you should be a libertarian like me. Anarcho primitivism and camaraderie between people is all we need, no governments controlling our lives
Where did i get that price? It was the price at the time this video was made in 2019. The reason the price has changed is this was a euro 4 bike, now we are under euro 5 and for that reason the new one costs more.
@@spicy110 Ha ha! That's the only bike anyone has recommended to me! Keep going with the videos. If you do find anything suitable for us giants to please shout it out loud and proud!!!
Anyone have used a UM Scrambler 125? I am thinking of getting one but there's very few reviews, especially in English. Any chance anyone could source one for me or potentially give me a review on yours? Many thanks, Jack.
How comfy and easy is it to ride.asking cos after riding my sinnis blade for to long.i have to get off cos my arse is killing me..thinking of selling and buying something more comfy
That kinda depends in the yard stick you hold it up to. It's a 125cc so yes very little power and it's a cruiser style that isn't designed for speed, hence the name.
I did talk about the Hoodlum in the video. This is how Chinese motorcycles work, a factory in china make the bikes and people can buy them branded in factory to their brand with small changes and sell them as totally different brand and model bikes. It is a very common thing to see, just like on amazon you can find say the same water bottle with 10 different brands.

Check out the videos I did on the um Commando its much larger. But honestly at your height you might want to consider a honda varadero 125
@@spicy110 Ha ha! That's the only bike anyone has recommended to me! Keep going with the videos. If you do find anything suitable for us giants to please shout it out loud and proud!!!
Very good review. I have a better idea now.
Anyone have used a UM Scrambler 125? I am thinking of getting one but there's very few reviews, especially in English. Any chance anyone could source one for me or potentially give me a review on yours?
Many thanks,
Jack.
Just passed my CBT I'm really liking this! Would you recommend this as a solid first bike?
Congrats, any 125cc is perfect for new riders so just go for what you like the most.
From where You get this bike? Can U tell me please?everywhere different price but not £1600.
How comfy and easy is it to ride.asking cos after riding my sinnis blade for to long.i have to get off cos my arse is killing me..thinking of selling and buying something more comfy
If you are under 6ft it would be extremely comfy and it's very easy to ride.
@@spicy110 5ft 8
is it automatic or manual?
Manual.
Does it really reach 70mph ?
That's what he said, and he's about 15 stone!
That a sinnis hoodlum with a different tracksuit lol....LITERALLY
It's the same base model bought from China, the sinnis has a couple of small differences as mentioned in the video. 🙂👍
Old intro music :(
Can we take seriously the claim of 173mpg please? Thanks.
Where is that claimed?
@@spicy110 On the Lexmoto web site: www.lexmoto.co.uk/models/ZS125-79-E4
Ok wow, yer I don't belive that at all. 100-120 maybe that I have heard of but 170+ 🤔 or should I say I would like to see the evidence.
@@spicy110 Many thanks. 173 seemed improbable! The ZSB is, on the same site, claimed to do 118mpg, perhaps that's true!! Stay safe.
Nice
Nasty.... that will become iron oxide in 2 years
Lol it was a very special bike lol
I had one... Way too slow
That kinda depends in the yard stick you hold it up to. It's a 125cc so yes very little power and it's a cruiser style that isn't designed for speed, hence the name.
It looks like it goes so slow
It's a 125cc cruiser with a 6ft 4 man on it. It's not exactly going to be blistering is it haha
spicy110 Im 5 ft 10 and 18 years old, could this thing do 80mph down the motorway or does it only do 79
spicy110 70
I would say it would do 70 but it would be the upper end of the speed.
.
It's just a crap Chinese made bike just in 2 years 🙄
Rusty they should of called it urs looks clean thoe👊
Thanks for the review as i couldn't find one anywhere else. 😊
Super review. a great bike for the money👍
Emm yesss. A picnic by the roadside, we do this because that is English!!!! 😂 😂 😂
A fine squirrel hasn't been taken down in his prime! 😂 😂 😂
Yeah you're pulse was a 57 plate
And some say you're taller than the average bear😉
You're 33 spicy😂
This looks just like the sinnis hoodlum, what's up with that ? 🧐🤔
I did talk about the Hoodlum in the video. This is how Chinese motorcycles work, a factory in china make the bikes and people can buy them branded in factory to their brand with small changes and sell them as totally different brand and model bikes. It is a very common thing to see, just like on amazon you can find say the same water bottle with 10 different brands.
